Rose Buds
-------------------------

The teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her
date with this see-through blouse on and no bra. Her
grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to
dare go out like that!

The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are
modern times. You gotta let your rosebuds show!" and
out she goes.

The next day the teenager comes downstairs, and the
grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The
teenager wants to die. She explains to her
grandmother that she has friends coming over and that
it is just not appropriate...

The grandmother says, "Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your
rosebuds, then I can display my hanging baskets."
